Chocolate Mint Dreams

In the summertime I like my treats to be cold or frozen.  I found a recipe called cream cheese clouds online and I modified it.

It has to be delicious with this base

8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
2 TBSP cocoa
1 TBSP cinnamon
1/2 tsp mint extract
10 drops liquid stevia

Mix together the softened cream cheese and butter. Blend in the rest of the ingredients until fluffy.  

Reminds me of making mints

I used my large (tablespoon) scoop to dish up scoops and placed the on the parchment paper that line my cake pan. 

Starting to look dreamy

I made them over lunch and sampled them for my afternoon snack.  The creamy luxurious minty chocolate melted in my mouth!  :^)

But at this time I am in a major "reprogramming" mode and that is a big challenge.
